Chemistry!

BUAHAHAHAHA! I did a chem problem the teacher failed at, as well as the resident genius student! BUAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The question was as follows
120 grams of steam at 211 degrees C heats your 19 gram pinky finger. The heat capacity of your pinky is 3.45 Joules/Gram Degree C. Assume all heat is conserved within ur finger and the remaining steam. What is the temperature of your pinky?
Slight modifications made from original question because the teacher did not forsee that the steam would not condense into liquid.
My answer was 174.99 degrees C with a 13.9365 Joule error.
Check if u can:-P
a scan of my work comming soon!
